The consensus advises against sharing any personal information and recommends reporting such calls to official fraud and police websites. Awareness and collective reporting are emphasised as key steps to combat these fraudulent practices.

Got a call let through to my answerphone & saw it was probably a scam. Definitely sounded dodgy to me.

Got a call from 01208227250 about qualifying for some kind of medical alert bracelet. The bloke just went on and on, kept saying the same things again and again. In the end, he sounded annoyed that I wasn’t interested and just hung up on me. Total scam, watch out!

Yesterday at around 11:45, I received a call from 01208 227250. The man on the phone spoke very nicely and claimed I might qualify for some kind of medical alert service. But when I asked him what made him think that and where he got my details from, he seemed quite uneasy. I kept asking why they’d called me, especially since our number’s unlisted, and also what info they had about my personal situation. He got all flustered and wasn’t able to give me any straight answers before ending the call. I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number now.

I got a call from a bloke who said I qualified for one of those medical alert bracelets. He wanted to know if I was above 50. I just told him, if you've already got my number, you should know my age! Sounded like a pretty polite guy too.

I answred the phone and some bloke with a English accent was askin if I was 50 or older, and if I needed a walker or walking stick. He was already deep into his pitch, so I reckon their auto dialler went a bit funny. Sounded quite polite, but I bet they’re just tryin to find older folks who might be easy to scam.

I received a call from a chap with a posh English accent who inquired if I was over the age of fifty and if I required a walking stick or a walker. It was clearly an automated system, as he was well into his script by the time I answered the line. He was rather courteous, but it struck me as quite likely that he’s on the hunt for those who might be more vulnerable among the older population.

A couple of comments further down this thread show step-by-step how to put an end to these scam attempts. If all the folks in the UK who get these dodgy calls and messages daily actually followed the advice, there'd be real pressure on the authorities to crack down on these cheats. Don’t just expect someone else to deal with it. It won’t take much time at all. I’ve bookmarked the ‘action fraud’ site and even dropped my MP an email - got a rather surprising reply too! But it’s pointless if only I’m bothering.

Absolutely scandalous! If you're past the half-century mark, apparently you ought to have this to safeguard against tumbles, citing you're more vulnerable due to age. But honestly, who’s been spilling the beans about my age, and how on earth do they deem me at risk? Completely uninvited and unsolicited!

This bloke called saying he was with Medical Alert and mentioned I might be eligible for one of those alert pendants. First, he checked if I was over 50, which I am. When I asked where he got my phone number from, he stayed really polite and just said it was about a medical alert medallion. I told him I already had one, cheers. He was nice about it, wished me a lovely day and then ended the call.

I got a call from 01208 227250, some bloke called John with an English accent talking about medical stuff. He said I could be eligible for a pendant or something like that. I told him usually when someone says ‘might be eligible’, it’s a scam in disguise. He went quiet for a moment, then just hung up. Honestly, it seems like the kind of call that could trick people when they’re vulnerable and make them pay for something bogus.

I got a call from this number and now my phone's acting really weird - I can't seem to dial out at all. Just as I’m about to finish typing a number, a voice pops up saying "The number you have dialled is not recognised." Even when I ring my landline from my mobile, there’s this odd ringing sound and when I answer, that same message plays. It's really odd and I have no clue how to sort it out right now.

I received a call saying I qualified for some kind of medical alert system and they immediately started asking me if I was over 50 and whether I used any mobility aids. I cut them off and asked where they were calling from - they said they covered the whole UK. Then I asked how they had my info, and they mentioned a local charity. After that, they guessed I lived alone, which isn’t true, and then just hung up abruptly with no sorry or any sort of explanation. Feels very scammy to me!

Got a call saying I qualified for a medical alert device since I was over 50. I ended the call right away - if they really knew I qualified, why the need to ask for private info? Definite scam in my opinion, likely trying to target older folks and trick them into handing over bank details. Stay clear of this!

I received a rather curious call from a chap with a posh English accent who inquired if I was past the age of 50 and if I relied on a walking stick or mobility aid. It was evident that it was an automated robocall, as he was well into his pitch by the time I answered. Quite the gentleman he was, but one can’t help but think he’s trawling for easily swayed senior citizens.

Absolutely! Just like many, I received a call from a man named 'John' claiming that I qualify for a complimentary medical alert pendant. I strongly suspect it’s a scam automated call for several reasons: 1. I held off speaking after answering, yet the pre-recorded message launched straight into its pitch about the free device without any response to my silence. 2. The initial question posed was, "Are you over 50?" My reply clearly didn’t fit their agenda, leading to an abrupt silence on the line. So, it's evident: yet another spoofed number from a robocaller hunting for unsuspecting victims for their dodgy schemes.

Once more, I received a call from someone claiming to be "John," insisting I was eligible for a Medical Alert pendant among other nonsense. It’s all a load of rubbish, if you ask me.

I received a call from someone claiming to represent the Medical Alert Centre at half past nine this morning. The number appeared to be a local one, which certainly piqued my curiosity. The chap on the other end had a rather posh accent, a young English bloke, which is a refreshing change from the usual voices I encounter-usually from overseas or sounding robotic. It seems they’ve mastered the art of faking local numbers, too! The moment he mentioned something about a medical alert pendant, I had the presence of mind to hang up. I’m in perfectly good health, so it struck me as nothing more than a scam. I can’t help but wonder how they managed to get hold of my number, considering I’m nearly impossible to find. Must be a case of random number generation, I reckon.

about that guy john ringing from some crisis centre: why on earth would someone i didn't ask for start asking all those personal questions? it’s probably just a way to catch my attention and then persuade me to hand over my info, which they say will be sent to my place. to do this, they want me to give john my address so he can tell if i’m elderly or easy to exploit. can you see how dodgy that sounds? my honest tip is to never share any personal info with callers you didn’t expect. it might come back to bite you later.
